God is not like men, to whom you cannot offer the same gift twice. It is not so much the gift that matters, as the perseverance and constancy of will in the offering.. It is His greatest delight to receive again and again the gifts already offered Him. -Fr. Scheeben

Please pray for a friend of mine. He's been out of work since Catholic Charities laid him off, nearly 6 months now. Savings are running thin. Good thing he's older than me and his children are grown, but still 🙏

Please pray for me, my boss and one of my coworkers are going out of their way to nitpick my work, finding fault where there is none. They have been doing so for the past 2 weeks. Please pray for strength and peace for me, and for the truth to be revealed.

Today was by far the scariest day of my life. Nobody had been able to get in touch with my dad for more than 24 hours. He lives in Las Vegas while I’m in New York, so being so far away made the situation even more terrifying. I called the police and requested a welfare check, then reached out to several of his friends to see if someone could go to his house. When they got there, he wasn’t answering the door, so they called the police. The officers ultimately had to break into the house to make sure he was okay. Thank God, he was alive and conscious, but he is very sick with a severe case of the flu, and possibly something else that we don’t know yet. He went to urgent care and was then admitted to the hospital, where they’re giving him antibiotics and oxygen and monitoring him closely. Thankfully, he’s in good spirits and staying positive. Hopefully, he’ll recover quickly and be back on his feet soon. Those few hours of waiting to find out whether he was okay were pure agony. I love my dad more than anything in this world. He is my best friend, my hero, and one of the greatest blessings in my life along with my wife and children. Not knowing whether he was safe was torture. Life is incredibly precious, and everything can change in an instant. Never take the people you love for granted. Tell them how much they mean to you, cherish every moment you have together, and never let a conversation end on a bad note if you can help it. We are never guaranteed another opportunity to express our love. God is great, Christ is King, and I place my trust in Him to guide us through this ordeal, whatever the outcome may be. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and offered prayers and support. Please continue to keep my dad in your prayers and ask God to grant him healing, strength, and a speedy recovery. I love you all. No homo.
My dad is in the hospital, please pray for him.

Grace, charity, makes it possible for God Himself to live in us and make us live with His love, thereby disposing us immediately to everlasting life. Since it is the principle of all merit, every work that does not proceed from it is dead, fruitless for salvation. -Fr. Lagrange

Knox needs your prayers, they’ve placed him in a medically induced coma. They’re worried he may not make it.
Please keep Knox in prayer. He’s 6 years old and was just diagnosed with leukemia. He’s the son of a family friend. The parents are devastated. They need all the prayer they can get.

A strange Eucharistic miracle reported by St. Augustine, in which a mother applied the Eucharist to open her son’s eyelids, which had been closed from birth (ankyloblepharon). "There was among us a certain Acatius, born in an honorable position among his people. He said that he had been born with his eyes closed; but because, although sound within, they were not open because the eyelids were joined together, he said that a physician wanted to open them with a knife, but that his religious mother would not allow this. Instead, she accomplished it by applying a poultice made from the Eucharist, when the boy was already about five years old or perhaps older; and he said that he remembered this quite well." Unfinished Work Against Julian, bk. 3, n. 162 (PL 45, 1315).

My daughter is unexpectedly being admitted to the hospital. Her surgery will be this week instead of at six months old like we thought. Please pray for her if you can.

"What honey is sweeter than to know the wisdom of God?.. Our riches are to meditate in the law of the Lord day and night, to knock at the closed door, to receive the 'three loaves' of the Trinity, and, when the Lord goes before us, to walk upon the water of the world." St Jerome

"..To love a person is to wish that person good.. By the fact that anyone loves another, he wills good to that other. Thus he puts the other, as it were, in the place of himself, and regards the good done to him as done to himself." ST.I.Q20.A1.Rep3
